Yes...this is Vienna's personality...I was so happy when my son spotted the falcon....we were walking up the solid spiral staircase....I'm asthmatic...was sooo out of breath...the perfect moment for a photograph!!!!

You chose the right moment for your rest, lucky you spotting him/her ..... it looks small there, are european kestrels small ?

Yes Louise, small compared to other birds of prey..i guess....but the females are larger than the males.
